Tomorrow is the big day for me as well. I teach 2nd grade. I had to chuckle a little when you said you were hoping for no major meltdowns (not because of your students, but because my first thought was "I hope I don't have any major meltdowns myself…

Profile Information

About Me:
Life is good! I can honestly say that I am happy with where I am in life. About 3 years ago I married a wonderful man, moved to Ohio (from Texas) to be with him, got my dream job as a 2nd grade teacher, and we bought our first house in March. I have an amazing group of friends here and belong to an amazing church family here.

You are all waiting for the "but" right? You know it has to be there! I'm proud to say that before I met my husband I started WW and lost about 65 pounds. The highest I ever remember weighing was 209 and about one year later I reached lifetime weighing in at 145 pounds. (This was the summer of 2006) I maintained that weight for over a year, only gaining once I got married and moved. During my first year of marriage I gained 40 pounds! I am not proud of the fact that I let myself gain that much back. I'm on a journey to get back to where I felt best--145 pounds--and this time I want to stay there!

Motivation

I found just the motivation I need to get back on track. It sounds so cliche, but my 10 year high school reunion is coming up 3 weeks from Saturday and I just decided that I am going to go (the only reason I questioned going was that I live in Ohio and the reunion is in Texas, so going requires a plane ticket). I know that 3 weeks is not enough time for anything drastic, but it is definitely enough time to drop a few pounds--and more importantly at this point, to stop gaining! The good news i

Friends-Through Thick and Thin

The other day I was looking through pictures from all of my past trips to Tanzania to compile a blog post for my personal blog about my best friend Atu. I first met Atu back in 2003 and the rest is history! We may only get to see each other every couple years, but each time we pick up where we left off. Here we are back in 2003:

Out of Africa

I got back from an amazing 3 weeks in Africa earlier this week. I am trying to get settled back into reality here. It is always a difficult transition when I get back. It's hard to explain. When I am there I miss my friends and family tremendously, but I know that I will get to see them again soon. But when I leave there, I leave not knowing if I will ever see those people again. The goodbyes seem so final.



Before I left I was worried about what they would say about my weight.

Zero Calorie Cupcakes

Sounds a little too good to be true? Well, I guess that is partially is. Technically these cupcakes are calorie free, but it's because they are not edible. Check out my newest creation for a friend of mine that is expecting a little girl next month.

On the Mend

Well, I definitely have a UTI like I was guessing. I took AZO and drank tons of water on Saturday and Sunday. This allowed me to hold out until today to get to my regular doctor. She confirmed my suspisions and put me on an antibiotic. I'm looking forward to putting this behind me and getting on when things (without having to stop for a restroom break every 5 minutes!) Thanks for all the tips/suggestions.

I must admit I am envious of your life. It sounds wonderful. How did you get started in missionary work? Is there a need for people who may not have such a great skill as teaching? I am only an office clerk and wouldn't think I would be of much use for someone of my skill level. Please continue in this as there is such a demand.

Hello,
Just wanted to check in...i read your blog post and your absolutely correct...one day at a time. I started my journey today and already wanted to quit, but I thought to myself just get through today and don't worry about tomorrow till tomorrow. Hope everything is going well for you. We can do this! Good luck with ww this week!

Hello,
So I wanted to learn a little bit more about you! How do you stay motivated to continue ur jouney? How far away from your goal ru? I feel like I have this mountain to climb and im no where near the top; which makes me not wanna start climbing at all. I just think you know it isn't that bad down here. I am 60 lbs away from my goal and I have never lost more than probably 30 lbs. I have never stuck to a program for more than a month. I just have never done it and I think the thought that I will fail is what makes me not wanna even start....any advice....

I miss you and am worried about you. Come back and blog with us. I don't care whether you fell off the bandwagon-- get back on with us. You are sooooo close and you can totally do it. You've come super far! Think about how far you've come! So much better to just get back up and shed any weight you may have gained than to have go back to where you were.

Hope this isn't too much unsolicited advice. I miss you and want you to achieve your goals!

You're only 90ish hours away from end of Tuesday. Best of luck on the cake. Wow!!!

I wanted to check in with you. How are you doing? Something that helps me when I'm really stressed is to take 3 deep breaths (in the nose, out the mouth). I know you're going through a really tough time so try that when you want to eat. Tea helps too. Thinking about you.

It's pretty good. I'm using all my activity points this week but hopefully I hit 162 by the end of this month (with the ultimate goal of around 152 by early July)
At 9:48pm on April 20, 2010, Tricia said…
I am working to get back to 152 too..so I can be Lifetime again. Here's hoping we both reach that goal again soon!!
